Chapter 509: The “Test” Begins
[Then, I must list the most difficult questions to ask him.] Narcissa noted.
Some paper and pen were brought to Narcissa, and she was sent to another room so she could focus. She didn’t have time for tea as she focused on listing things, she believed Ivan would not know.
Arabella heard Narcissa’s thoughts as she thought of what to ask Ivan.
Narcissa listed a lot and focused on information she thought was not known by many. On more difficult parts, she chose information that she thought could only be found in Ryvaleh. She wanted Ivan to be unable to answer in front of Arabella.
The Imperial Exam included information about random territories in Valeria, so test-takers also had to learn about other territories aside from their homelands. Thus, Narcissa’s questions were acceptable. However, she intentionally chose a lot of information that was difficult to access.
But Narcissa was forgetting some of it may be available in the library here in Riva as well and Arabella knew that Ivan was an avid reader. He was the kind to devour everything he could to gain more and more knowledge.
After an hour, Narcissa was done with her list of questions and answers. Riley made a duplicate copy of it for Arabella so Narcissa would not change the answers later.
The answers were also verified to be correct so there was no problem with the list. Narcissa was indeed quite knowledgeable as well. She was able to list a lot of questions within an hour while intentionally choosing information Ivan may have had not access to.
Arabella then asked Riley to fetch Ivan. He returned with Ivan after two minutes.
